THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER 29, 1929—-PART 3. 13 -Autumn Suits Have Short Jackets and Slightly Longer Skirts May Be Worn Early in Season With Furs and Later Under Fur Coats—Beaver, Caracul Lapin, Dyed Mole, Krimmer or Persian Lamb Used to Trim Topcoats—New Idea Is Linking of Short Jacket With One Piece Dress, Usually of Wool Fabrics. BY HELEN DRYDEN. UITS are an outstanding feature in this season’s Fall wardrobe. Among the most practical are Jacket suits that can be worn early in the season with furs and : dater under fur coats. Modeis of this sort that are ready to Wwear right now are made of tweed, chiffon-weight woolen, heavy canton crepe, satin, velveteen, velvet or jersey. Some of the new jerseys have the flecked effect of tweed, others have nubbed or crepe surfaces. The smartest suits for immediate ,Wear have finger-tip or hip-length ckots and slightly longer skirts with yoke tops. The skirts usually flare slightly from the gores or achisve the desired flaring line by means of godets or pleats, and are worn with the belt Taised ncarly to the normal waistline. Blouses to be worn with thes> jacket spits have elastic bands so that they may be worn either tucked into the skirt or fitting snugly over the hips out- side the skirt. ‘The jacket is gencrally collarless, the ‘exception showing the notched or rever collar, with occasionally the narrow, up- standing collar. This permits the wea ing of a brilliantly colored hand- woven or tweed scarf, either pulled ‘through a ring or knotted in the back, slightly draped and brought forward to Black Broadclo hang in long ends or in two triangular points. Coats on the cardigan order are unlined; and this is the type you will generally find in the four-piece ensemble where the top coat is included. Others, which are to serve as outer coats, are lined with the blouse or dress fabric—silk or wool crepe, lightweight tweed or ostrich feather mixtures. Furs such as beaver, caracul, lapin, dyed mole, krimmer or Persian lamb will used generously to trim top- coats. A new idea this season sponsored by | many important French dressmakers is the linking of the short jacket with a one-piece dress usually of a wool fabric. The coat may match the tweed of the dress in design and color mixture, but in a heavier weight; or it may contrast in both color and fabric, The dress designed to be worn with a short jacket is usually a one-piece model with fitted bodice, either belted or molded by seams at the slightly higher waistline, with longer skirt flar- ing from the godets at an even hemline. It is softened by lingerie touches at the V-shaped neckline and wrists. It is especially smart in black woolen, Chanel adds capes to her princess dresses, cutting them in one with the back, joining them to the outer seam at the sleeve, or adding them as a separate garment reaching to the hips. (Copygight. 1929.) th Returns To Fold in Afternoon Wear Many Formal' Cos- tumes Are So Lavishly Trimmed With Fur That There Is Almost More Fur Than Fabric —New Cape Coats. The formal afternoon ensemble has been reinstated and has brought broad- cloth—particularly black broadcloth— | back into the fashion fold. Duvetyn shares interest with velvets, which in- cluce the stiffer Lyons velvet and vel- veteen, as well as transparent and panne velvet. In formal afternoon ensembles & one-piece dress is often coupled with & i long coat matching in fabric as well as in color. Sometimes a dress of can- ton crepe will be worn with a coat of { darker, duller shade of the dress color. | These new coats are of three-quar- “ters or seven-eighths length, with the ' normal waistline indicated by fitting or a belt, and may dip slightly at the back, “if the skirt does. In the same way the flare of the skirt is repeated in the “coat. And, as in dresses, the flare is re- | strained and is kept well below the hips. It is achieved in many ingenious «ways, the simplest being the insertion of ‘gores below the hips, forming a ripple all round. Bias and circular flounces are sometimes joined in an irregular outline and set all round the . coat or only at the back, giving the fantail. effect. There are flares at the iside as well as at the front. i Many formal costumes are so lavishly ’trimmed with fur that there is almost more fur than fabric. The furis ap- iplied in all sorts of ways, in deep or ‘double borders, in incrustations on the ¢fronts, in godets at the sides end i *horizontal and diagonal bandings. Col- {lars are Sumptuous. They may be of Lthe pouch order lined with the fabric 4 50 that they are reversible, or in shawl feffect crossing with surplice line. 1" Sleeves are sometimes made entirely Lof fur. The cuffs of the barrel type ulook like small muffs and the flaring { gauntlet cuffs reach to the elbow. Even i the new spiral bands often wind tneir ‘ way beyond the elbow. ! The choice between the long-haired dand flat furs is a personal one. Light, ycreamy furs, such as lynx, Rit fox and £dyed fox are a popular choice for use with tete de negre and other shades of brown, as well as bottle and spinach < green. Gray fox is smartly combined formal, and blue fox is smartest of all, especially coml with brown, the blouse matching the fur. Brown Per- sian lamb is used with black woolens and black astrakhan with brown. new cape coats of lighter weight broadcloth or cashmere dash and distinction and are appro- priate for formal wear. The cape with high, standing collar, unlined and swinging from the shoulders to below the belt,'may be banded with fur. Hats Become Part Of Suit Ensemble With suits of red, green or blue, & hat in matching color should be worn. With brown suits a contrast is often noted, possibly because brown suits are so numerous and vary so widely in tone. But the hat that does not match the suit must link into the ensemble in some way. Very often it blends with the furs and is -either beige or black. ‘With a black suit a contrast is always permissible, but the all-black ensemble has a certain chic and elegance which makes it a safe choice. The hat may match the suit in fabric as well as in color. Berets of tweed or jersey with a perky bow in front may be worn with jacket suits. The velvet turban or cap goes well with the velvet ensemble and flexible hats of duvetyn or broadcloth are appropriate for formal ensembles. Contrasts in materials are preferred to contrasts in color, and combinations of felt and velvet or soleil, in the irregu- lar brim shapes—down at the sides and off the face—would be the right comple- ment to the long-coat daytime suit. Vel- vet and satin collapsible turbans would be "just as appropriate for wear with the more formal suit. With these hats you may play with the veil—a sheer mesh veil which falls over the eyes and is drawn up at the sides, or a longer chin veil hanging loose. More fur i3 shown on hats than is usual so early in the season. Galyak and breitschwantz are preferred be- cause of their flatness. Much ingenuity is displayed in setting the galyak into the felt, which may be brimmed, tur- ban or cap shape. Among the new colors Patou’s dahlia is especially important, particularly the dark shade which matches so any of ‘the formal ensembles. Myrtle g.ken ie favored. Many of the blues have a nurplish tinge, tans are distinctly golden ... hue and new browns blend off into russet and chocolate tones. Amon, combinations, black and white, espe- clally when the white is supplied by ermine tails, vies with beige and brown. A tweed hat may be worn with a tweed suit, or in contrast to the suit, ¢ with_independence blue or garnet red. §Black fur with black is a little more but with matching handbag and pos- sibly shoes. THIS JACKET SUIT OF BROWN JERSEY PULL-OVER, LACED IN s THE FURS ARE BEIGE KIT FOX. TWEED IS WORN WITH A TAN FRONT AND AT THE HIPS, THE BEIGE FELT HAT HAS A BROWN BELTING RIBBON BAND, AND THE JACKET SUIT AT THE LEFT IS OF PURPLISH-HUED TWEED, WORN WITH BEIGE CREPE BLOUSF, BEIGE HAT WITH EGGPLANT DING AND AMETHYST CHOKER. THE BLUE TWEED SUIT IN THE CENTER HAS COLLAR OF GRAY KIDSKIN. THE BLUE HAS A TIE OF DARKER BLUE AND THE DARK BL UE SOLEIL DUTCH CAP IS TRIMMED WITH GRAY FEATHER ORNA- MENT. THE HENNA TWEED SUIT AT THE RIGHT IS WORN WITH A HENNA FELT HAT COMBINED WITH BEIGE GALYAK. PURPLE BA CREPE BLOUS There Are Blouses For All Occasions Varied as are the suits of the sea- son, there is even greater diversity in blouses. range from sheer jersey tuck-ins, sleeveless or half-sleeved and looking like boys' running shirts, to tunies of metal brocade, lavishly fur trimmed. Even tailored blouses are softened with lingerie frills. Tiered jabots, tuck. ed gilets and front panels outlined in flutings, pleated collars with contrast- ing colored edges, wide Peter Pan col- lars with colored pleated ruffies, all tend to make the new blouse more feminine. ‘While the V-shaped neckline pre- vails, the tendency is to draw the col- lar closer to the throat, andsome high collars have aj . Bows have lost none of their smartness and, like frill- ing, may decorate wrists as well as necks. Bows often sound the color note. Severely tailored blouses are made in heavier cottons and men's silk as well as cotton shirtings. They have slot seams, back yokes and club collars; and button down the front with small pearl buttons, There is also a tailored simplicity about many of the sheer wool blouses, but most jerseys and novelty woolen blouses are more sportslike in character than tailored. ‘Tuck-in blouses, which are newer than overblouses, are made of informal, knitted lacey fabrics, novelty jerseys, transparent corduroys, ostrich mixtures and other sports fabrics, silk crepe, printed tweedy crepe and satin. ~The latest fabric to be requisitioned for blouses is wool tulle, which is a coarse woolen net. ‘The overblouse is usually used only with the formal ensemble, and then it may be extended into a tunic. Long or short, the first essential is the snug fit at the hips, aided by shirrings, vertical or horizontal tuckings, or a swathing girdle. Crepe satin, the re- verse side of which is used for encrusta- tions, is often used for overblouses. So are satin with handwrought faggoting and much seaming and tucking; plain and printed velvet with real lace at the neck and on the sleeves: lace with the draped neckline, and lame, sheer and supple as chiffon and often fur trimmed. . Cleaning Aluminum. The correct method of cleaning aluminum is to put cold water in the discolored dish with one teaspoonful of the acid crystals to every quart of water. If there are small dishes they may be set inside a large one. Then set it on the fire and boil for a good five minutes. If you do not let it boil this length of time you will not have | P nudlcmz, results. “ Do not put the hands in the bath unnecessarily, as the acld solution may burn your hands if they have any scratches or cuts on them. However, do not imagine that a solution of this strength is strong enough to be dangerous to handle. After you have boiled your dish you will find that it is free from the dis- coloration. Now empty it out into an- other dish needing cleansing and plunge the cleaned dish into a dishpan of hot soap suds. Wash it thoroughly, using a little steel wool to brighten it if you like. Now rinse and wipe dry and you will find a remarkable ge. Another rule for the use of oxalic acld solption on aluminum dishes is to leave a solution of one teaspoonful to & uart of cold water in your discolored lishes over night. This is said to pro- s s Tl et le unwi leave any lution standing about when by using some other method this is not necessary. Reserve Groceries. It is & wise idea to have on hand & list of ible groceries that you might need at any time, and thén when you find that you suddenly need somethin from the grocer's delivered to.you, you can simply add some of these articles to make the order worth attending to. Some housewives never order soap and various cleaning supplies in any way. They are for special telephoned Now the Corset. ‘The Tcnnequ!m ‘wearing the new clothes fecently shown by Patou in Paris all wore corsets, and many wom= en who have been quite content to g0 corsetless for the past few years find that with the new raised waistline and the tuck-in blouses some sort.of stays are required. The corsets worn by the Patou mannequins extended only to the normal waistline, o ing ® smooth foundation for the closely draped hips g | rious -‘I,lmlnu padding | toi used as orders.

What do you think of his father and mother?” My indignant young companion re- arded the two older members of the trio at the next table, surreptitiously, of course, and then remarked, “Frozen faces!” “Exactly,” I assented. “I've been in- terested in them ever since they got out of that expensive car.” “How old do you think that child is?" “I'd say about 6, maybe 7.

Trimming is gen- erally concentrated at the back, on the body and quarter rather than the vamp, the idea being that this treat- ment makes the front of the foot ap- pear shorter. Trimming blends or matches, rather than contrasts. ,To wear with suits during the day there are new oxfords made with per- forated or punch-work trimming. They are fastened by means of buckles at side front instead of the usual lacings. These new oxfords share popularity with one- , leather heeled shoes fastened . Buttons are in keeping with the trend toward simpler shoe fashions, Plain bone buttons appear in the tailored shoes and enamel but- tons on dressier types for afternoon wear. The plain opera pump, how- ever, is the more usual choice for for- mal occasions. Calfskin, kid and suede are com- bined in various ways. They are some- times trimmed with reptile skins, but very discreetly and in a blending tone. Lizard pumps in black and brown and water snake in all brown are correct with the suit.

Shaded Furs, Barbaric Jewelry Shaded furs are very smart this sea- son, and those usually chosen for this treatment are breitschwantz, shaved lamb, krimmer, ‘atrakhan and caracal Sometimes the edge of the deep cuff farthest from the hand is of a deep brown, or black, shading out to a gray or light brown where the fur touches the hand. Collars are also shaded from dark tones to light tones near the face. Barbaric necklaces, bracelets, earrings | and other ornaments that were once considered appropriate for an anthro- pological display in a museum are now among the most prized trinkets in the jewel case of the smartly dressed wom- an. The globe trotter takes pains to add to her collection the heavy, beaten silver jewelry worn by natives of North- ern Africa; from Indians of the South- west she collects silver and turquoise chains and brooches; from Central Africa she gets necklaces of sharks’ teeth strung on leaf fiber and values them more highly than diamonds and rubies! These ornaments are not only appro- priate for sports wear, but are worn with afternoon costumes as well, providing they tone somehow with the cut and color of the costume. Only for formal evening wear are they considered inap- ropriate. B “mden Jewelry of all sorts—based on the craft of barbaric tribes—has been favored ever since last Spring, and among the fine woods used for this pur- pose are teak, junk rosewood, ebony— as are also ivory, bone, bamboo, carved nutshells—not to mention claws and teeth of wild animals. Pewter jewelry is another new fad. 1 Shawls .

New Evening Gowns Are Slim and Slender. Though Wide Variety Is Observed, General Characteristics Are Uneven Hemline Persists but Is Formal—Snug Hip Line Is Found in All of Them. More Definitely Settled and Decision Has Been Made With Emphasic. BY MARY MARSHALL. T}l’! riod dress, the “robe de pe: style” of the French dressmakers, is hardly mentioned nowadays, and its passing is significant. It came into being when the mode of the day was so severe, often 80 unl g, that women wanted something different, something that they could not find within the strict con- | fines of the prevailing fashions. Dress- makers satisfied this demand by pro- ducing dresses that were merely modern interpretations of the fashions of bygone days and Jeanne Lanvin won enviable fame among n women because of her charming evening gowns that recalled the picturesque styles of the past. For several years there were dis- tinctly two types of evening dress at every smart gathering. There were ht, scant dresses that followed the silhouette of the day, and, in striking contrast, there were the period cos- tumes, picturesque, long and bouffant, that were in the mode and still not of it. ‘There is no longer any need for this double dealing of fashion, because the actual silhouette and mood of fashion is sufficiently feminine, sufficiently be- coming and graceful to satisfy the de- mands of any woman. There is wide variety in the new eve- dresses, but they are all obviously of the same era. Here and there you may find one of the so-called tennis dance frocks, cut straight and scant and very simple, but these are not likely to hold out long against the very charming type of simple dresses that designers are producing in the newer mode. Varied - as are the new evening dresses, there are certain characteristics that are to be traced throughout them all. Skirts are longer, though the added length is achieved in many ways. Bodice lines are more closely molded, though whether this is done by means of a fairly smooth princess silhouette, y shirrings or drapery, with a slight olouse or with none at all is not defintely settled by fashion edicts. ‘The line, however, is definitely settled—and settled in an emphatic way. It is this fact that makes the old-time period dress, with fullness of skirt bursting forth from below a closely wrapped girdle, seem quite out of the picture. The new bouffancy is held in restraint and makes its appear- ance below a very trim hip line—a line &a;: s:meumesd lsxuxaam midwlysuboel; n knees an a suj of the 1880 sflhoue!?es.' 5 The uneven hemline persists in eve- ning clothes, but there is something more formal about it. The untidy dripping hemline is a little out of date. There is nothing accidental in the ap- | pearance of the new uneven hemline. Often there is no unevenness at all— the skirt falling in graceful folds any- Where from four or five inches below the knees to a line nearly at the floor. And these skirts are as evenly hung— when they are meant to be hung evenly —as they were in the ante-bellum days when one of the most important phases of dressmaking was that involved in making the hemline even all round. (Copyright. 1929.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. The use of lactic acid milk or one of the “made buttermilks” for infant feed- ings has become so universally familiar that mothers accept it almost without question. But being modern she does want to know, “Why is sour milk bet- ter for bables? Why do they use lactic acid in 1t2” It has been said, times without num- ber, that cows’ milk was not intended for small bables, but for small calves. ‘The type of protein in cows' milk is difficult for the small baby to digest. His stomach has acids which should re- duce the milk to an acidified liquid, so that it can pass out of the stomach, but cows’ milk demands more of this acid than most babies’ stomachs pro- vide. Given cows’ milk in quantities that will nourish him, the curds tend to gather in large, tough “chunks,” and baby suffers colic and indigestion be- cause of them It was found that, if acid were added to the cows’ milk formula, this “pieced out” what was lacking in the baby's own supply of acid, and so more milk and less water could be used, almost as fl“tkhe baby were being fed on whole m Various acids were tried out—citric acid, such as is found in lemons or limes; acetic acid (vinegar), hydro- chloric acid, which is found normally in the stomach, and lactic acid, such as we find in natural buttermilk. The citric and lactic’ acids had the advan- tage of doing the work and being more agreeable to baby's taste, so these are in common use. The experience of Dr. McKim Mar- riott, dean of the University School of Medicine and chief of staff of the St. Louls Children’s Hospital, have been widely published, and his formulas are in constant use almost everywhere. Of recent years he has favored the use of evaporated milk in his lactic-acid formulas, so that we may be sure will grow in popularity in the future, being easily obtainable everywhere. ‘There are distinct advantages in feeding with lactic acid milk. First of all. its ease of digestion. Then more milk and less water makes it possible to better feed the tiny, undernourished baby who needs more milk but can't take a large formula (diluted) with- out spitting up most of it. This is especially true when there is an ob- struction, such as pyloric stenosis. Lactic acid milk is made exactly the same way from the time the baby first takes it until he is 1 year of age. The sole difference is in the amount that he can take. This lifts one tremendous load from the mother who is constantly fearful that baby isn't getting enough to eat or that his formula has been out- grown. With lactic acid milk when he more, ‘and this Bis. matueal Spyerice 3 us natural appetif takes care of his needs. e Heretofore lactic acid has not been easy of preparation. Th eold drop-by- drop method was long and arduous and not always crowned with success. One mother, almost in tears, asserted that she had had the whole family beating the stuff and yet it still remained stub- bornly uncurdled. The present method of mixing the acid and milk results in alurulmrotm mixture of even texture and If one prefers the made buttermilks, these can be accomplished by the use of buttermilk tablets of cultures and whole sweet milk. For infant feeding it is better to make your own buttermilk, for then one knows exactly what grade of milk is used in it and one is sure of its absolute freshness. Natural butter- milk lacks fat (obviously) and so if one churns and wants to feed baby on real buttermilk one needs to add at least four ounces of cream to each quart of buttermilk so that the caloric value of the food 1s equal to whole cows’ milk. Sugar is essential to every formula, as mothers always discover if they omit it. It is difficult to give a child enough calories per day in just milk alone, for he needs the caloric value of the sugar to make up his quota, and he suffers from stubborn constipation without it, for he then gets too much protein and not enough balacing carbol tes. Lactic-acid milk can be fed the whole first year, though it seems better at about nine months to stop using a “crutch” to baby’s digestion and let him learn to digest sweet milk. The acid can be omitted £ All other f are added to baby’s diet during the first year, exactly as if he were being fed on sweet milk. Pepper Salads. Green peppers are almost as useful as tomatoes for salads. They may be stuffed with any salad mixture, cucum- ber and tomatoes, or coleslaw, for in- stance. If the last is used it must be drained dry of liquid before it is put in the peppers. A little top is cut off the peppers at the stem end, and after the filling is put in the top is put back. The seeds and pith must be removed from the peppers, of course, or else they will be too hot to eat.
